From The Void We Come. In The End, Only Steel Remains.
History of the Steel Legion of the Void
The Genesis of the Steel Legion
The Steel Legion of the Void was born from the harsh underworld of ArcCorp, a sprawling industrial empire that ruled over the galaxy with its cold, corporate-driven power. ArcCorp’s relentless expansion dominated not only the planet’s surface but also its moons, many of which had become lawless wastelands. These moons, once thriving hubs of mining and industry, had been abandoned and left to deteriorate as the corporation shifted focus to its more profitable ventures.
One such moon, Lyria, was once a prosperous mining colony providing resources essential to ArcCorp’s growth. Over time, it became an outpost of neglect, forgotten by the corporate overlords above, its industrial facilities abandoned and its population dwindling into poverty. Pirates, smugglers, and mercenaries seized the opportunity, turning Lyria into a battleground of greed, power struggles, and survival. It was in this unforgiving environment that two men—Wolfyshredz and Cptsavaho—would meet and lay the foundation for the Steel Legion of the Void.
Wolfyshredz: The Reluctant Soldier
Wolfyshredz, a former elite operative within the Galactic Defense Corps, had walked away from the life of a soldier after the empire he once served collapsed into chaos. The scars of war weighed heavily on him, and the fractured galaxy offered no place for idealism. He turned to a life of mercenary work, drifting from job to job in the dangerous fringes of space, always staying a step ahead of his past.
His travels eventually led him to Lyria, where he was hired as a private contractor by the struggling corporate mining operation ArgoTech. Lyria had become a hotbed of pirate activity, and the corporation needed someone with the skills to protect its dwindling assets. Wolfyshredz, with his military experience and unyielding determination, took the job, but he was well aware of the corporate greed that had driven the workers and miners to desperation. To him, this was just another contract, another mission to survive.
Cptsavaho: The Outlaw Strategist
Cptsavaho, known to those who feared him as Vox, was once a high-ranking strategist for the notorious Scythe Syndicate, a ruthless criminal organization operating across the galaxy. His unparalleled expertise in cyber warfare, covert operations, and battlefield tactics had earned him the respect of allies and enemies alike. However, a brutal betrayal within the Syndicate had left him disillusioned, forcing him to go underground. Seeking refuge on Lyria, Cptsavaho began taking freelance jobs, offering his skills to whoever could afford them.
By the time he arrived on Lyria, the corporate interests had all but abandoned the moon, leaving it vulnerable to pirate raids. Cptsavaho, knowing the true nature of corporate rule, took on a consultancy role with ArgoTech, offering his talents in cyber defense, encryption, and intelligence. However, even in this more subdued role, he knew that the pirates were a symptom of a larger problem—the unchecked corporate power that cared little for the well-being of its workers. Though his role was ostensibly to protect corporate assets, Cptsavaho couldn’t help but notice the growing injustice all around him.
The Bunker Incident
The defining moment for both Wolfyshredz and Cptsavaho arrived with a savage pirate attack led by the infamous Bloodstone, a merciless marauder who commanded a fleet of ruthless outlaws. Bloodstone and his forces descended upon Lyria’s remaining industrial sites, overwhelming the meager corporate defenses with ease. The miners, workers, and security personnel were caught in the crossfire, their lives upended in an instant.
Wolfyshredz, already entrenched in the fight, led a group of survivors into an old, fortified bunker deep beneath the surface of Lyria. The bunker, once a part of the moon’s original defense infrastructure, became their last refuge. But as the pirate forces pressed closer, Wolfyshredz realized that the chances of holding the bunker with only a handful of survivors were slim.
At the same time, Cptsavaho, who had been working on securing communications for the colony, realized the situation had gone from bad to worse. The pirates had disabled the last remnants of the corporate defense grid, and no reinforcements would be coming. Recognizing the bunker as the only viable option for survival, he made his way through the chaos to join Wolfyshredz. But when he arrived, he found himself cornered by pirates.
Just as Cptsavaho was about to make his final stand, Wolfyshredz arrived, cutting down the pirates with brutal precision. His combat prowess and tactical mindset made him a force to be reckoned with, and together, he and Cptsavaho repelled the pirate assault long enough for the survivors to regroup and activate the bunker’s emergency defenses. The two men fought side by side, and in that moment, their fates became intertwined.
The pirate forces were eventually repelled, and reinforcements from other factions arrived, but the damage had been done—the colony was left in ruins, and the survivors were stranded in the wreckage.
Forging the Steel Legion
In the wake of the battle, Wolfyshredz and Cptsavaho recognized a profound truth: the galaxy was rife with chaos, and those who had the strength to fight, survive, and protect would be the ones who determined the fate of countless others. The pirate attack on Lyria had shown them that the lawlessness of the galaxy would only continue to grow unless something—or someone—could stand in the way of the corruption and violence that ruled the stars.
Drawing on their complementary strengths—Wolfyshredz’s battle-hardened experience and Cptsavaho’s unparalleled intellect and strategic mind—they decided to form an organization that would act as a bulwark against the chaos: the Steel Legion of the Void. The Legion’s mission would be to provide security, military support, and defense to vulnerable colonies and corporations, operating in the dark and dangerous corners of space where no government would dare to intervene.
Their motto, “For the Void, For the Fallen, For the Legion”, would become the foundation of their new purpose—a symbol of unwavering loyalty to those who needed them the most. The Steel Legion would stand for strength in the face of oppression, loyalty to its people, and an iron will to defend those left behind by the galaxy’s corporate giants.
Legacy of the Founders
Wolfyshredz, known as The Steel Wolf, became the Legion’s combat leader, the embodiment of its martial prowess and iron will. His leadership was absolute, and his reputation on the battlefield became legendary. Cptsavaho, now known as Vox, became the Legion’s strategist, a master tactician whose intelligence and planning ensured that every operation was executed with precision and efficiency. His ability to read the battlefield and predict enemy movements made him an invaluable asset to the Legion.
Together, they transformed the Steel Legion from a ragtag group of survivors into one of the most feared and respected private military forces in the galaxy. The Legion became a symbol of hope to those in need of protection and a nightmare to those who sought to exploit the weak.
The Steel Legion of the Void, originally formed from the ashes of Lyria’s destruction, continues to operate across the stars, taking on high-risk missions, protecting the helpless, and securing vital resources in the ever-volatile galaxy. From their base of operations, once a forgotten bunker on Lyria, to their new headquarters in a fortified station orbiting ArcCorp, the Steel Legion stands as a testament to the power of unity, strength, and unyielding resolve.
For those who fought with us, for those who stood by our side, and for those who will come after us: the legacy of the Steel Legion of the Void lives on.
Manifesto of the Stellar Defense Consortium
Preamble
In the ever-expanding frontier of space, where the void between worlds holds both promise and peril, humanity stands on the precipice of a new era. Our civilization is reaching beyond the confines of Earth, establishing colonies, conducting exploration, and securing resources across the stars. But with great ambition comes great conflict. The vastness of space is not governed solely by law, but by power, strategy, and influence. We, the Stellar Defense Consortium, rise to meet this challenge.
As a private military contracting organization, our mission is clear: to ensure the protection, security, and stability of those who venture into the stars. Our clients—corporations, governments, and private citizens—rely on us to safeguard their interests, assets, and lives in the harshest environments. We are the silent guardians, the vanguard against threats, the architects of security in a world without borders.

Space is unforgiving, and only the strong and vigilant will thrive. Our operations will be relentless, ensuring our clients’ safety is never compromised.
Private Enterprise, Public Protection
We are not bound by the slow-moving bureaucracy of governments, nor by the limitations of outdated protocols. As a private entity, we are flexible, adaptive, and responsive. We bring cutting-edge technology and unparalleled expertise to bear, offering our clients a level of protection and strategic insight that public institutions cannot match. Our loyalty lies with our clients and our commitment is to their well-being, regardless of their affiliation.
Strategic Neutrality
While we are fiercely dedicated to our clients, we maintain a policy of strategic neutrality in the greater galactic political arena. We are mercenaries, not crusaders, and do not engage in ideological conflicts or interstellar disputes unless directly hired to do so. Our focus is on the protection and advancement of our clients, not the enforcement of universal ideologies or the pursuit of political agendas.
Technological Superiority
To survive and thrive in the cosmos, we must be at the cutting edge of technology. The universe is an ever-evolving battlefield, and so we continually invest in the development and acquisition of advanced military systems. From autonomous drones to AI-driven warships, we ensure that our forces are always a step ahead of emerging threats. Innovation is not just a matter of efficiency—it’s the key to survival.
Mercenary Code
While our organization operates for profit, we adhere to a strict code of conduct. We will not engage in indiscriminate violence, nor will we betray the trust of those who rely on us. Our reputation is our greatest asset, and we will defend it fiercely. Trust, professionalism, and discretion are the foundations upon which we build our relationships with clients and allies.
Excellence in Execution
Our services are second to none. Whether conducting tactical operations, large-scale military engagements, or strategic advisory, we execute with precision. We employ only the most skilled operatives, drawn from the best and brightest across the galaxy. In space, where failure means extinction, we will never falter. Every mission will be executed with unmatched excellence, every plan carried out with unyielding resolve.
The Right to Private Force
We believe in the right of individuals, corporations, and sovereign entities to defend themselves. Just as a planetary government has its military, so too should private entities in space be empowered to protect their interests. We are the enforcers of this right, operating in the lawless reaches of space where others dare not go. Our clients have the right to feel secure, and we are here to ensure that right is upheld.
Our Commitment
To our clients, we pledge this: your safety is our mission, your assets are our responsibility, and your peace of mind is our ultimate goal. We will not stop until your objectives are secured, your risks minimized, and your position in space fortified.

To the galaxy, we declare:
We are the shield between the weak and the strong. We are the hammer that strikes against those who would threaten the innocent. We are the protectors of the frontier, ensuring that the exploration and expansion of humanity into the cosmos is done safely, securely, and with the strength of a unified force behind it.
We are the Stellar Defense Consortium.
We protect the future of humanity among the stars.
For those who hire us, for those we defend, for the frontier that awaits.
